Merkel Challenges Obama to Join “World Order”

“We Europeans are used to this,” she said. “We have voluntarily given up many of our powers to Brussels and to the European Union. But our American partners find it much more difficult to hand over powers to the International Monetary Fund or to any other international organisation.”

“This world will only be a peaceful and good world if we have more of a world order and more multilateral co-operation,” she said.
